Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes Pregbilin can cause sedation. You are very right , we generally advise patients to start very low dose , like the one time first day. Then increase every two days to optimum dose that work for you. This may help, if still problem persists then you can talk to your doctor regarding stopping the drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
